Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under Art. 3 ECHR.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by an applicant who could not substantiate a risk of torture or inhuman treatment in their home country. The applicant argued that specific political persecution targeted them, but the court found no credible evidence linking their specific profile to state actors or non-state groups. Consequently, the court ruled that the burden of proof regarding the risk of return was not met, leading to the rejection of the claim.
